✦ Synopsis

Seeing through a turbid medium such as fog, mist or
clouds is a fascinating idea that would find applications in a
large range of fields from research to industry. The main
difficulty of this challenging task is related to the complexity
of multiple scattering of optical radiation propagated through an
ensemble of scattering particles and/or droplets randomly
distributed in a medium. To deal with this challenging problem we
develop a new Monte Carlo based computational technique able to
simulate image transfer through the complex inhomogeneous turbid
media. The model is able to identify the contribution of the
scattering orders in the detected images for a particular medium.
With the presented approach the simulation of laser beam
propagation and image transfer of an object hidden within a turbid
scattering medium has been performed. The results of simulation
demonstrate a good agreement with the experimental results. The
validation of the technique has been done by using several
modeling samples of water polystyrene spheres solutions.
